Congratulations ever!

Yay ever congratulations :):):)

Ahhhhhh brilliant!!! So pleased for you ever!!!!!! That is just fantastic! What great news. We night have similar due dates I think?

I miss you all on this thread! Do you know where the grads thread is? I am a totaly computer dunce so haven't found it yet. (And nor have I moved myself on the stats! Would someone do that for me next time please? Sorry for being crap!)

Big FX for everyone else this month!!

here it is :o
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/1375536-TTC-a-2012-baby-THE-GRADUATES-Pt-2

Yay!!! Congratulations!!

ooh - exciting, well done ever

Yay well done congratulations!!! ???

Well done! Happy Leap Year to you!! X

Thanks, everyone!

bella, I'm really not sure about my EDD since AF didn't show when I expected (8 Feb) and I had two BFNs in the week that followed. If I'd gotten pg at ov in late January, surely I would have tested positive by 14 Feb (the last time I tested before today)? So I guess it's possible that I may have ovulated much later than expected. I'm sort of kicking myself for not testing last week, but I was trying not to be all OMG!obsessed about it, LOL.

So that leaves me a little perplexed about my EDD. I'm guessing my GP will just work from the date of my LMP in January, which means a mid-October due date; but I think a dating scan will probably reveal it to be a bit later (I'm guessing November sometime).

It still doesn't feel real. I've left the testing stick in the bathroom all day, so I see it when I go in there and think, "Wow, it's really happening!".

Thanks again for all the support. I hope there's more good news here very soon!

Congratulations eversomuch what a memorable leap day! :)

I've had a strange ol'time! After 5 days of spotting AF finally arrived yesterday - I was so glad though after all of this waiting around!!!! So my usual 27 day cycle was 31 days although lots of spotting?

Anyway onwards and upwards - glad to see the BFP and bella popping back to say hello and bring some pg luck to the rest of us!

Oh my goodness!! CONGRATULATIONS ever!! Yay!! My blackberry packed in yesterday morning, got a replacement last night so just checked now and there's a only a bloody bfp!! Maybe my phone should break more often ;-)
Such good news ever, I wish you all the luck in the world and let us know your EDD when you find out :)

Thanks by the way ladies, I'm having a lovely day..stuffed full with cake that my gorgeous 2yo niece made me 'with all my favourite things on' bless her! Having a takeaway curry in a bit with all the family, remind me to change my age on the stats because I will forget!

Sorry about af impatient..that spotting for ages must have been frustrating, I bet you were kind of glad to see af! (Kind of!) Like you say onwards and upwards :)
has anyone got anything planned for the weekend? x

Thanks robin. I hope to find out the EDD within the next week. The suspense is driving me mad, but DH is swamped with work this week, so I can't really get away to the EPU and I don't want to schlepp DD along -- I'm afraid she wouldn't have the patience for sitting in a waiting room for (possibly) hours.

Very happy to hear you're having a lovely birthday.

Sorry about AF impatient. Fx for next month.

Congratulations ever thats fantastic news

Sorry to hear about af impatient - hopefully March will be our lucky month, I quite like the idea of an xmas baby

Hiya, just popping in to say I popped! My gorgeous son Fyfe was born on Thursday at 36+6 weighing 8lb5oz! As he was 1 day premature we couldn't have our planned home birth but the birth was an amazing experience and we were home that evening. Hope to see more BFPs here soon!

Congratulations, carlita! Hope you're all settling in nicely.

Congratulations carlita! I can't believe how quickly that has gone - I remember when you got your BFP, it doesn't seem that long ago! Sounds like things went really well with you being home that evening, well done you! Fyfe is a gorgeous name Hope you're all settling in well xx

Hi everyone :) Been busy in RL and having some time away from here while AF was hanging around! Just ordered another box of CBFM test sticks and started auto delivery from Amazon - hoping it will be a good trigger and that I will need to cancel it!

Had a slight panic today as realised I am away for 3 days at the end of this month... it shouldn't be my fertile time but it just might be :( while have to hope for an early peak this month! If I do manage to O before I go away it would be great as then I would be very distracted for some of the TWW!! Although I will be at a hectic work thing involving flying, drinking and the spa

Hope everyone is doing ok :)

congratulations carlita

Hi all, hope everyone is enjoying the weekend so far?

impatient I like your idea of tempting fate - I may just order myself a huge pile of expensive conception goodies then hopefully not have chance to use any of it! Really hope that your get your peak before you go away, and yes its nice to have a distraction when you're obsessing isn't it?!

I'm in the 2ww now, yesterday I woke up with really sore swollen boobs which are just as bad today. I do usually get this before af is due but from yesterday af shouldn't be here for another 11 days? I started to get excited wondering if that meant it was a pg symptom but I really don't think so as DH & I have both been so busy at work this month that we've hardly managed to dtd at all- one time was about a week too early for ov then unfortunately work took him away for a few nights and we didn't manage to dtd again until about 2 days after ov. So I'm pretty sure we have missed my fertile time, meaning af is expected, but why torture me with the sore boobs now? And I mean SORE! If af is coming this early then I wish it'd just bloody hurry up and get it over with! Its just weird as I'm only CD22, usually 31 days, the shortest I've ever had since I started to record my af dates is 28 days, so I'm still a week early even if af will be early this month. With that in mind, I go back to thinking maybe just maaaaybe I could be pg, stranger things have happened?! But surely I wouldn't have symptoms only about 6 dpo?! I am officially confused.com! Ok rant over!

Thought we could do with a stats update to see where everyone is at, impatient I know you've had your af but couldn't update you as not sure of your new dates. Wonder how bug hearty etc are doing? freedom you're due today! Any update?

Hi ladies! Sorry for being AWOL! Been very busy too impatient, hope you have managed to catch O or that you will catch it! I'm sure you'll ovulate before the end of the month :)

Hmmm lugsie that sounds a bit suspicious! It only takes once as they say Fx for you this month, yay to SORE boobs!!

Hope everyone is doing okay and is having a nice weekend so far!

As for me, DF and I have decided that we are going to take a break from ttc, we are nice and busy, we are house hunting and saving for our deposit, so we thought we would chill out a bit until we are in our new house. Well when I say take a break, I mean, still not use protection but don't pay any attention to dates or anything I mean who would want to go back to using condoms?! I don't think we'd remember how to use one its been so long! Haha, its going well so far, I haven't even thought about it really..noticed today from CM I should be ov around now but not going to swi lots like usually, just go with the flow. It feels really nice not stressing and working things out!

I will still be coming on here to see how you lovely ladies are doing so I'm not going far :o I wish you all the luck in the world for this month, I'll have my Fx for everyone! Thanks for all the support and for all being there to have a good ole natter to, you are all lovely lovely people!! (I sould like I'm leaving for the other side of the world! I'm still gonna be checking up on you daily! Lol)
Lots of love xxx

Aww robin glad you'll be sticking around! I know exactly where you're coming from when you say you want to take a break from ttc - when you've got so much else going on in your life you really don't need the added stress of counting cycle days, trying to dtd on the 'right' days etc. I bet you get pg straight away using this method though! I sometimes wonder if the high stress levels are actually preventing me from getting pg?!

Are you still planning your wedding? Hows that going? As I've said before, I LOVE wedding talk, so do keep us updated!

Just got a BFP yesterday , did an online DD calendar roughly 18th nov

congrats to the rest of you.

lugsie fingers crossed for sore boobs being a symtom of pregnancy for you. No AF yet but I already did a test on cycle day 40 which was negative. So now on day 44 and expect to get period in the next 24 hours.

well done 'archemedes'

Hi everyone, can i join.

This is my first month ttc #2,
Bare with me still tryin to learn all the acronoms.

How do u do ur stats?

Im currenty having af, on CD4.
All new to this so not sure if u can tell when im ovulating as my af is one after being on the pill.

Look forward to gettin to know u All and share the ttc experience with you.

Thanks freedom - good to know that someone else thinks my sore boobs could be a symptom and not just my imagination! Really hope af stays away for you. Are you going to test again if still no af in a day or two?

Congrats archemedes

Welcome hai Ovulation is usually around the middle of your cycle, so say about CD14. But it differs from woman to woman depending on things like usual cycle length etc. The general advice is to have sex about every other day from the end of af to make sure you cover your fertile time.

My stats are: Lugsie (27) TTC#1 Cycle 10 UCL 31 days AF due 20th March
So this is my name and age, I'm ttc my first baby, I'm on my 10th cycle of trying, my usual cycle length is 31 days, and my next af is due on 20th March. Hope that makes sense! If you can't copy & paste the list (like if you're posting from your phone or whatever) then just post your own stats and I'll add you on
